Project Implementation

“Doctor, you performed a perfect operation, but the patient died.”  Like medical operations, you can have a seemingly successful implementation that results in the demise of your business.  Frog Pond Consulting’s “Precise, unrelenting answers for your fragile environment” is more than a tagline; it is the way in which we implement software.  We treat your company as the fragile environment you know it to be. Supply Chain software implementations prove to be a huge investment to your company.  The difference between success and failure is vital and we understand this.  As a result, we will not allow short-term execution of a software implementation to jeopardize your business’s longevity.  The following services assure that your implementation is successful, both in the short and long term:

Project Methodology

Successful methodologies are not developed in theoretical vacuums or from “canned” project plans established by project management institutions.  Nor are successful methodologies developed by a “shooting from the hip”, “been there, done that” mentality.  Rather, it is the fusion of PMI (Project Management Institute) project structuring with the knowledge and experience of the industry’s foremost Supply Chain software that makes Frog Pond Consulting’s methodology superior.  Every implementation is different just as every company is different.  We will evolve our proven methodology to best meet the needs of your implementation.

Project Leadership

Most implementations consist of large consulting teams, with single consultants each implementing single modules and supported by yet more individuals managing the project.  Most consulting companies even divide their consulting resource pool into technical and functional divisions, furthering the need for many resources.  This implementation structure is often time-consuming and expensive.  Frog Pond Consulting offers only industry-seasoned consultants who lead the project, managing other consultants and/or internal client resources, at the same time as they implement one or more modules.  We are project managers who consult as we manage—resulting in the cost-cutting best of both worlds.
